I spent and then I spent some more and more!
Hellooo blogworld
Me again, here I am being a bus (nothing for ages then twice in a day) or something like that anyway!
So I promised some pictures of my new stuff - somehow it didn't look as much when I laid it out on the dining room table as when I was carrying it around at the craft fayre!!
Dies, dies and more dies oh and some paper, embellies, doilies and a stamp (bargain that was!).
DST, Artbin storage (already had the nesties), ribbon, lace and mettalic mesh - ooooh you should've seen the examples of bows and flowers - gorgeous! Now if only I can do the same!!!!
My postal spend - shed loads of flowers and a new bottle of Crafters Pick. Had the other bottle for roughly two years? Thought it might run out soon!!!
The only things I didn't take pics of was my new glass cutting mat, beads and plain white heavy paper for the inserts that I'm going to start putting in my cards.
Ummm, think that's it. I could've spent more but I'm now hanging on until my birthday and will self-present some craft stuff then.
Oh and the craft fayre saga - well the first stall I stopped at I spent a fair amount and went to put it on my Visa - only to be told that my pin had been blocked, so the lady did the transaction as cardholder not present. None of the stalls took AmEx so I had to revert to cash - blooming good job I'd taken a wad of cash otherwise I'd been stuffed.
I did try to phone hubby (he'd taken Emily away and out so that I could shop in peace) but he has a rubbish phone and I couldn't get through to him (note to self - fathers' day present new phone and not a fiver one from Tesco this time) to see if I could Switch stuff. All OK in the end as I didn't spend as much as I thought so that one credit card and a large chunk of cash later I was done.
Of course, then I had to try and find said hubby and child. Ended up swearing at the damn phone and wandering around in the blistering heat trying to find the car. Eventually found the car, but not the family. Still I got 20mins to sit and look through all my purchases!
Off to bed now, and dream of all the cards I'm going to make with all my new stuff - ahhhh, bliss!!!!!!

Hi Sarah
You sound as excited as I get when I go to craft fairs. I am like a kid in a sweet shop. Have fun tomorrow - though you have bought so much stuff you wont know were to start.
Love

Enjoy and hopefully show us soon some wonderful creations using it all

Sounds like you had a good day and what bliss to be able to buy some new stash! Had a little spend in the Glitterpot online sale last week and got some more Magnolia stamps ('cos you can never have enough)! Hugs, Tracey xx
Wow! Looks like you had a great time! All looks fab .. bet you can't wait to start playing with it all .. those dies look gorgeous!! Think I am due a flower splurge at WOC and they have a jubilee 10% off until 5th June so will feel less bad about it! hehe. Oh and just bought the 100+ bundle from Pollycraft, I wasn't aware of it but they are lovely images. Such a shame they are finishing! Laura x

Enjoy your new amazingness!

"Dark green clouds and a noxious smell are eminating from a house in rural Northamptonshire! We've been told it's crafters envy!" Wow Sarah would a fab haul!

Hi Sarah ,
Well , I’m back and I have the rest of today free so as to catch up on everyone’s creations since I have been away refurbishing my old house.
I adore reading the blog’s and looking at all the lovely cards and projects, almost as much as making the cards myself.
Thank you for your lovely comments on my blog , its so nice to keep in touch.
Wow what a fabulous array of stash...glad you stuck to your resolution I bet tese new things are more fabulous than they would have been if you hadnt waited for them ? oh Sarah I love those Memory box dies, the heart die, if you turn it upside down and clip it a little makes a nice butterfly.
Great work well done ,
Hugs Elaine

Big Hugs
